Upbit Suspending Crypto Deposits and Withdrawals
Crypto exchange Upbit announces suspension of deposits and withdrawals of digital assets of 1 million won and above for Ten&Ten, as per a notice on April 17.
The suspension of use and termination of Ten&Ten’s Travel Rule Solution service is the reason behind Upbit’s suspension of deposits and withdrawals of more than 1 million won. The Ten&Ten exchange services stopped transaction support on April 15 and the last date to withdraw crypto assets is April 22 at 10:00 KST.
The virtual asset service provider (VASP) Ten&Ten helped the crypto exchange offer crypto deposits and withdrawals of over 1 million won.

Korean Won Fiat Trade Volume Exceeds USD
South Korean Won (KRW) overtook the US Dollar (USD) in terms of crypto trading volume in Q1. Kaiko data revealed that transactions on centralized cryptocurrency exchanges involving the Won exceeded $456 billion. This narrowly edges out the cumulative trading volume of the US Dollar, which posted figures around $455 billion.
The largest centralized crypto exchanges in South Korea are Upbit, Bithumb,, Coinone, and Korbit. This indicates the major crypto exchange volumes globally come from South Korea as crypto prices rally in this bull cycle. Spot and derivatives trading volumes also are increasing from South Korea in April as crypto adoption rises amid crypto-friendly trading environment in the country.
